2025-26 competition travel season details coming soon!

Travel Commitments

Student Team Members

Please discuss travel as a family and complete the a travel planning form by Feb 1.  You’ll be required to commit to events for both attendance and payment.  We can’t afford for students to drop off or ask to be added to trips at the last minute.  These trips are complex and expensive to execute, so it’s important for families to plan carefully in advance and realize the commitments they are making in time and dollars. We will not be able to reserve additional hotel rooms at some events.

Mentors and Parent Chaperones

Mentors and parents who would like to travel with the team as chaperones are to fill out this form as well.  We need at least one male and one female chaperone on each trip.  Parent chaperones and mentors may elect to pay their own trip fee, but it is generally assumed that the team will cover the cost.  Also, adults may elect to make their own travel arrangements at their own expense.  For Houston, we ask that all parents and mentors cover the cost of their own flight.

Travel Insurance

Families may elect to purchase travel insurance for the Houston trip starting at $75.  The base plan benefits include Trip Cancellation/Interruption/Delay, Baggage Loss/Delay, and Medical Expenses/Evacuation.  Travel insurance allows families to cancel up to 2 days prior to departure and get 75% back  on the nonrefundable airline tickets.  However, insurance must be purchased in January to receive this benefit.  Tell us at the end of the form below if you are interested in purchasing travel insurance.  Please see travel insurance website https://www.travelexinsurance.com/quote or call toll free 1-800- 228 9792 with any question you have.
